Percentages above are of 45,346,349 shares outstanding, as reported by NOODLES & CO. on its Form 10-Q dated May 6, 2024 (see the filing on EDGAR).

Every figure above is derived from filings made with the US Securities and Exchange Commission: Form N-PX, in which registered funds disclose how they voted every proxy and institutional managers disclose their votes on executive pay (say-on-pay, say-on-frequency and golden parachutes), and Form 8-K Item 5.07, in which the company reports its own meeting results. Shares outstanding are taken from NOODLES & CO.’s 10-Q dated May 6, 2024. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on November 8, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
